King Zhao, one of the You Kingdom series

Chapter 4

This trip to the Thousand Kingdoms was carried out in secret. It was announced to the public that the king was inspecting the newly conquered land. Quan Dong led the guard of honor and guards to inspect, so that Yin Chuhong stayed at the palace, and Lan Yufeng pretended to be a bookseller fleeing from the country. The big bodyguard was his subordinates, Lan Qingjun dressed up as a woman and Geng Li pretended to be a family, with their son Geng Jin, Yin Yisang and Zuo Qiuxiao dressed as a young couple, Qin Yi and Youliang brought You Che Dress up as a family.

This plan cannot be leaked out, Dongfang Yu and Fang Caoxi are only two children who want to go out with the king on inspections, and hand over the children to Qin Yi to take care of the two children.

Quan Dong nagged and talked with Fan Lengsha, Wei Yilie, and Chu Luoyan for a long time about how to take good care of the king, his heartache was written all over his face, and he almost burst into tears.

Fan Lengsha, Wei Yilie, and Chu Luoyan knew Lan Yufeng's living habits very well, and they were secretly happy. On the surface, they couldn't let Eunuch Quan see it. They listened patiently and were very moved. Eunuch Quan was really wholehearted. For the king.

Before the team left Mojing, they didn't tell Lan Qingjun, Qin Yi, and Yin Yisang of the plan, and told them a few more after they left the city, and Geng Li hadn't arrived yet.

Lan Yufeng came to Yanning Palace to see Han Feiyan the day before his departure.

Han Feiyan was pregnant, no matter if she had a boy or a girl, she could no longer shake the queen's position, and she was not as worried as before, she winked and smiled.

Han Feiyan nestled in Lan Yufeng's arms, and the two were half leaning on the couch.

"Your Majesty thinks this is a son or a daughter?"

"all good"

"Your Majesty, the concubine hopes to give birth to a prince, so that the royal family can be more stable."

"Yeah." Lan Yufeng closed his eyes.

Han Feiyan rested her head on Lan Yufeng's shoulder, and wrapped her arms around his waist: "My lord, the first time I saw you was when I was 14 years old when I entered the palace with my grandfather. At that time, my lord was sitting under the white hibiscus tree reading a book. "

"Oh?" Lan Yufeng slightly opened his eyes.

Han Feiyan continued shyly: "At that time, the concubine fell in love with the king at the first glance."

The corner of Lan Yufeng's mouth raised a graceful and beautiful smile, as magnificent as a peony.

"I don't remember"

Seeing this smile, Han Feiyan was a little dull: "Your Majesty, this concubine feels very lucky to be the supreme match, to be able to bear children for the king, and this concubine feels very happy."

"Your Majesty, your Majesty will go on tour tomorrow, and your concubine is pregnant again. Can your Majesty stay here today?"

Lan Yufeng patted Han Feiyan: "My concubine feels lonely"

Han Feiyan bit her red lower lip and nodded.

Lan Yufeng tilted his head and whispered a word in her ear: "No"

Han Feiyan looked at Lan Yufeng with watery eyes, and Lan Yufeng sneered: "Don't challenge my patience, you have already got what you want."

Han Feiyan was shocked, her lips trembling: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?"

Lan Yufeng let go of Han Feiyan, and leaned against the cushion behind her: "Aifei knows better than anyone how my concubine can become a queen. I was very happy when I went to Qianguo two years ago."

Han Feiyan's hands and feet were already cold, and her body couldn't stop shaking.

"My beloved concubine, don't worry, my prince will come from the queen's belly. My beloved concubine just needs to do what a queen should do." Lan Yufeng pinched Han Feiyan's chin and lifted it gently.

"My queen is so beautiful, she will definitely give birth to a beautiful child for me"

"Returning to the palace" Lan Yufeng got up and left the bed without any hesitation.

Han Feiyan's breathing was tense and tears were streaming down her face.

Lan Yufeng sat on the jade that was returning to the palace, turned the jade finger unintentionally, and looked at Fan Lengsha, Wei Yilie, and Chu Luoyan who were following him.

This is my most loyal vassal, and I also know that many girls inside and outside the palace want to marry them. It is the honor of the family to bestow marriages on them. I don't know why, but when I thought of choosing a lady for marriage for the three of them, I felt angry, and I secretly rejoiced that my father didn't care about it. It should have been my father who gave them marriages, but my father didn't care about everything. I just like to stick to Sima Taifu, or to fight wars and practice martial arts.

Lan Yufeng knew that he didn't have feelings for Han Feiyan, but in order to inherit the clan, he had to marry a queen. Han Feiyan's grandfather Han Ye was a veteran of four dynasties in You Country. He is not a dude, but he is colluding with the Xibai clan, the largest clan in Qianguo. The old man Han Ye didn’t know that his children and grandchildren betrayed the country for glory until he died, and secretly colluded with Qianguo. Before he died, he asked Sima Taifu to take care of Han Feiyan, the only granddaughter Lan Yufeng knew that Han Feiyan was a smart woman. He threatened her and promised her what she wanted. The status of queen and the son she gave birth to would be the status of prince. This time she must be her queen honestly. The reason why she chose her , also considering that the queen can't be too cowardly and kind. Han Feiyan is a scheming woman who can take on the heavy responsibility of the queen in terms of ability.

Lan Yufeng has no interest in the affairs of men and women, and every time he makes out with Han Feiyan, he feels it is boring, as if he has barely completed the task, and has no intention of taking the harem back.

Lan Yufeng was thinking about his thoughts, and was a little dazed. He didn't react until Eunuch Quan reminded him that he had arrived at the door of the bedroom.

Under the service of the maid, Lan Yufeng entered the bathtub to soak, his face was steamed with heat, and his thoughts drifted back to the time when he was choosing a concubine.

"Feng'er, would you like to choose a queen and several concubines?" Taifu Sima asked himself.

"Daddy, I just want to choose a queen." Lan Yufeng called Sima Yan his daddy since he was a child, and no one taught him, he just thought it should be called that.

"Why don't you choose a concubine, usually one queen and two concubines"

"I'm not interested, my father doesn't have a concubine either"

"Your father was not a king at that time, but a prince"

"One queen is enough"

Sima Yan continued: "Well, these girls can also give marriages to others. The three children of the bodyguards are all grown up. You will give them marriages after you ascend the throne, which shows that you value their families and also declares that they are yours." Dear friend, you can pick and choose, and write down the ones you like."

After hearing this, Lan Yufeng frowned, feeling very unhappy, and when he thought of the scene of the three hugging left and right, he couldn't beat his anger.

Queen Han Feiyan had already made a decision by default. At that time, she didn't take a second look at her, but observed the other women carefully. Seeing that this one's eyes are too small, that one's is short, this one's too bewitching, that one's too stupid, no one looks pleasing to the eye, and feels unworthy. In fact, those who can enter the palace to choose concubines are all from the royal families of various clans, and they all look good, but they don't like it no matter how they look at it.

Concubine Xuan came back the same day and saw the three standing outside Xuanzhai guarding him. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became. I feel relieved, and I feel a lot better.

Lan Yufeng laughed softly as he soaked in the water, thinking of the three of them grooming their horses, he wanted to laugh.

When he is separated from the inspection team tomorrow, there will only be three people left to take care of him, and then they will be tormented and tossed, so that they don't have the heart to think about marrying a wife.

Lan Yufeng resumed his usual indifferent expression, and he felt better when he thought of tomorrow.

Fan Lengsha, Wei Yilie, and Chu Luo guarded strictly outside Lan Yufeng's bedroom. The three of them were going to drink on the roof at night, and they knew each other that they were in a good mood.

In the early morning of the next day, under the respectful send-off of the ministers, the inspectors left Mojing City, and quietly led the following people to the direction of Qianguo.

Because it was a bookseller disguised as a fleeing Wei Guo, there were four large carriages, one for Lan Yufeng to rest, one for Lan Qingjun, and the remaining two were used half for storing things and half for rest .

In addition to the horses that pull the carts, every adult has his own mount. The blue-feathered horse is brown-red, named Chitu, and it is a mare.Fan Lengsha, Wei Yilie, and Chu Luoyan all have black stallions named after Lan Yufeng. They are called Hei Mo, Hei Yu, and Hei Feng respectively.

Lan Qingjun's horse is a white mare named Xiaobai. On Lan Qingjun's 16th birthday, Taifu Sima gave him a gift, and he named it himself.

Zuoqiuxiao and Youliang's horses are all dark brown stallions, Juechen and Jingfan.

The horses of Yin Yisang and Qin Yi are all gray mares, with black hooves and gray hooves,

Lan Yufeng sat in the car and looked at the road map, Fan Lengsha drove the car,

Qin Yi, Yin Yisang, Lan Qingjun, Geng Jin, and You Che gathered in a car.

Wei Yilie, Chu Luoyan, Zuo Qiuxiao, and Youliang looked at the convoy, but Geng Li hadn't arrived yet.

The horses followed the convoy leisurely, and Xiaobai was the most lively. He ran to the front of the team for a while, and chased after the butterflies on the side of the road. He never idled for a moment.

Hei Mo and Chi Tu walked together, Wu Ti walked beside Juechen, and Hui Ti walked beside Jing Fan.

When Chitu walks around, he also cuddles with Heiyu and Heifeng intimately.

Lan Qingjun exclaimed again and again in the car: "You guys are men! Wow, I really can't tell"

Qin Yi hugged Youche, patted it lightly, and smiled faintly. Yin Yisang looked at the medical book in his hand: "If you wear women's clothes, no one will recognize you."

Although Geng Jin was only four years old, he was much older than other children of the same age, sitting cross-legged next to Lan Qingjun eating osmanthus cake.

"Daddy, sweet-scented osmanthus cake is really delicious, it's the best I've ever eaten, try it"

Lan Qingjun picked up one and ate one: "It's delicious, Brother Qin, did you cook it?"

"Don't call me Big Brother, call me Big Sister, don't miss it," Yin Yisang reminded.

"Sister Qin, your craftsmanship is really good"

"Qin Yi's culinary skills are undeniable, you haven't eaten his dishes yet, you must be full of praise"

"Sister Yin still has a heroic spirit. After watching for a long time, she doesn't look like a woman, but Sister Qin looks like a woman no matter what. I guess she looks like a girl in men's clothes."

Qin Yi's hands stiffened, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.

Yin Yisang knew his difficulties, but it was difficult to tell Lan Qingjun the truth.

"He's too gentle"

Qin Yi smiled to hide his embarrassment. He is androgynous. In order to let him live a happy life, his master never restricted him to wear men's or women's clothes. In fact, he thought he was a man in his heart, but because his appearance was too soft and his personality was gentle and shy, it seemed It is more suitable to be a woman, but he is over [-] years old. If he is a girl, there will be many people who propose marriage. He is afraid that people will know his special body, so he usually appears as a man.

Lan Qingjun opened the carriage curtain: "Brother Zuoqiu, where can we go tonight?"

Zuo Qiuxiao approached on horseback: "I can reach the border town tonight, pass Quanshan Mountain tomorrow, and walk to the border in three days."

Lan Qingjun nodded: "Passing the border town, there is a mountain road. It seems that I will live in the mountains and forests."

Zuo Qiuxiao: "Yes"

"When will Brother Geng arrive?"

"You can meet us in the border town tomorrow morning"

"That's great, when Big Brother Geng arrives, we'll eat game."

"Okay." Zuo Qiuxiao smiled, and glanced at Yin Yisang by the way, and it happened that Yin Yisang was also looking at him when he raised his head. Their eyes met, and there was a smell of gunpowder.

Yin Yisang looked at him provocatively, thinking he was a pervert, pretending to be a gentleman.

Zuo Qiuxiao looked back, what's the matter with the kiss, they are all men.

Yin Yisang narrowed his eyes, wait, if you dare to kiss me again, I will tell you not to.

Zuo Qiuxiao raised his eyebrows, okay, I'll wait and see what you can do to me.

In Lan Qingjun's eyes, the two were flirting, looking left and right.

"Why don't you two talk alone?"

Qin Yi lowered his head and smiled sullenly, Yin Yisang has never given up his share or suffered any disadvantages. Yesterday, Yin Yisang was arranging the medicinal materials for departure. Zuo Qiuxiao and You Liang came to help load the car, because Yin Yisang was wearing women's clothes , the skirt was a little dragging, when Zuo Qiuxiao was helping, he stepped on the corner of the skirt, not to mention tripping Yin Yisang, but also just pressed on him, and his mouth met his mouth.

Yin Yisang got up, chased Zuo Qiuxiao and beat him all over the yard, yelling "pervert" over and over again, very angry.

"Who cares about him?" Yin Yisang lowered his head and continued to read medical books.

"My lady, warm up my husband's bed at night." After Zuo Qiuxiao finished speaking, he immediately put down the curtain of the carriage, not surprisingly catching the book that flew out of the carriage.

"Big pervert, who is your wife?" Yin Yisang angrily grabbed the objects around him and continued to throw them.

"Auntie, don't throw me," Geng Jin said.

Yin Yisang let go of Geng Jin's hand, Qin Yi asked him: "Are you two talking with your eyes just now? Do you know what he said?"

Yin Yisang and Zuo Qiuxiao heard this sentence at the same time, and they were shocked to know what the other person said with their eyes, unlike other people.

Zuo Qiuxiao rubbed his chin and found something interesting, and Yin Yisang's soft lips came back to his mouth.

Yin Yisang was even angrier, whoever could make eye contact with him was so pissed off.

Youliang saw all this in his eyes, and smiled secretly in his heart, Zuoqiu Xiao was suave and suave, with a noble status, he was the object of many nobles' fawning, he was affectionate, he was very kind to every woman who was close to him, but he was alienated, and his clan Zhong has been looking for candidates for his wife, but it seems that he treats everyone the same, neither particularly like nor close, this is really the first time he meets Yin Yisang.

When the two of them got together, they fought like black-eyed chickens.

Lan Yufeng didn't notice what was going on in the convoy behind, and felt a little thirsty for tea. Fan Lengsha thought that Lan Yufeng must be thirsty, so he raised the curtain of the car and prepared to pour water for him.

The two happened to meet each other, and Fan Lengsha asked, "Young Master, are you thirsty?"

Lan Yufeng nodded, lowered his head and continued to look at the road map.

Fan Lengsha poured a glass of water, feeling a little cold, warmed it up with internal energy, and presented it respectfully.

Lan Yufeng didn't even raise his eyes, he drank it in one gulp, Fan Lengsha took the empty cup, put it aside, rolled up the car curtain, and continued on his way.

The sun is shining outside, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the breeze blows on the road, and the fragrance of wild flowers hits, and the smell makes people feel refreshed.

Wei Yilie and Chu Luoyan glanced at Lan Yufeng from the car window, no longer looking at the road map, leaning against the cushion behind, eyes slightly closed, just taking a rest.

The three of them looked at each other. They did it on purpose to let Lan Yufeng relax and rest. He was busy with government affairs in the palace, so he finally came out, and let him live a life that he should live at this age.

As dusk approached, the convoy arrived at a small border town. There was only an inn that provided accommodation in the town. The border town inn is located in a remote location in Youguo, and its economy is semi-nomadic. It is not a developed farming civilization. The economic activities are relatively sluggish, and the inn is not big. , the room is relatively small.

Lan Yufeng, Fan Lengsha, Wei Yilie, and Chu Luoyan are in a room, Lan Yufeng is sleeping on the bed, Fan Lengsha, Wei Yilie, and Chu Luoyan are on the floor.

Qin Yi took two children to live with Youliang, Lan Qingjun didn't want to be alone, so he stayed with Qin Yi,

Yin Yisang also wanted to stay together, and asked Youliang to share a room with Zuo Qiuxiao, but Zuo Qiuxiao said that no one could protect Lan Qingjun, so he insisted on grabbing Yin Yisang to share a room with him.Let Youliang lay the floor in Qin Yi's room.

Fan Lengsha, Wei Yilie, and Chu Luoyan specially learned a set of massage techniques from Yin Yisang, which is very effective for the tiredness of the journey, and they planned to give Lan Yufeng a massage at night.

After dinner, Lan Yufeng leaned on the bed and looked at the scroll in his hands. Fan Lengsha, Wei Yilie, and Chu Luoyan were preparing things for him to take a bath. Lan Yufeng liked to be clean and had to take a bath every night .

"Guest officer, the hot water is ready," the waiter knocked on the door lightly and said.

Fan Lengsha and Wei Yilie immediately opened the door to carry water.

The waiter from the shop came in: "Gentlemen, I think you seem to be in business and don't know the local situation. At night, no matter what sounds you hear, don't come out. Don't cause trouble."

Lan Yufeng glanced at him, and the waiter's legs immediately softened, why is this look so cold.

Chu Luoyan smiled and asked, "Why?"

The shop waiter saw that Chu Luo was strict, elegant and gentle, and continued, "Master, there will be slave traffickers escorting their carts here at night, if they hear whips beating, scolding, and children crying, it means they have arrived, and they are very vicious , stay away"

Xiaoer Dian gave a general introduction to the situation. The current world is full of chaos, and a small country may disappear in the blink of an eye. The people in the occupied areas are miserable. Many of them are sold as slaves, especially orphans. Due to the recent wars, they specialize in arresting orphans and selling them There are many traffickers of children, and slaves will be branded with official characters on their bodies. During this period, a convoy of slaves will spend the night in the town in a day or two. If those children cry, they will be whipped. They look very pitiful. But no one can control it.

Lan Yufeng motioned for Chu Luoyan to come over, whispered something in his ear, Chu Luoyan nodded.

Fan Lengsha and Wei Yilie went to bring up the hot water, and Chu Luoyan followed the waiter to ask for more details.

When Chu Luoyan came back, Lan Yufeng was taking a bath behind the screen, and Fan Lengsha and Wei Yilie wiped his arms one by one.

"Master" Chu Luoyan twisted a towel to wipe Lan Yufeng's back.

"Say" Lan Yufeng closed his eyes, enjoying the service of the three of them.

Chu Luoyan explained the more detailed situation that he had found out, if it was a slave car that was resting in a border town, it was basically a slave that had already been ordered by the three nobles of You Country.

The slave dealers who often resident in the store said that the Han, Chen, and Li clans in Youguo were the buyers, and they liked buying children as slaves the most.

After hearing this, Lan Yufeng didn't express anything, he just said that he knew three words.

They changed another bucket of bath water and washed their hair. The three of them served Lan Yufeng to the bed. Wei Yilie massaged Lan Yufeng's head, Chu Luoyan massaged his feet, and Fan Lengsha massaged his legs.

Lan Yufeng suddenly raised a graceful and noble smile like a peony: "Who did you learn this massage technique from? It's very comfortable."

Wei Yilie said while pressing, "Dr. Yin taught it"

Lan Yufeng fell into silence again, closed his eyes, and said only one sentence before going to sleep: "Detain the car and tie up the traffickers."

"Yes, sir"

Putting down the bed curtain for Lan Yufeng, the three of them exited quietly.

The two children had already fallen asleep, Lan Qingjun was taking a bath behind the screen, Qin Yi was folding the children's changed clothes, Youliang went to feed the horses and hadn't returned yet.

"Open the door, it's me" Yin Yisang's voice sounded outside the door.
